Project Management

In Q1 2021, the co-authors’ company delivered a front-end engineering design for the Arrowsmith Hydrogen Plant, a staged development by Infinite Blue Energy Group.

A good system of process monitoring not only ensures safe and reliable plant operations, but also helps in making strategic decisions such as catalyst changeout schedules.

H2 is set to play an increasingly important role in the world’s energy mix. As an industry feedstock, a source of heat and power or a transportation fuel, H2 has the potential to gradually decarbonize large sectors of industry.

With a global energy transition underway, interest in H₂ as an essential vector in a future energy system is skyrocketing.

H2Tech’s first H2Tech Solutions virtual conference, the must-attend event for sustainable H2 technology, was held on 18–19 May 2021.

The international hydrogen economy is set to boom in the next few years with Europe emerging as the clear leader in investment and policy support for the sector.

Large-scale, affordable, “blue” hydrogen production from natural gas, along with carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS), is necessary to bridge the gap until large-scale H2 production using renewable energy becomes economic.

Considerable investment has been allotted to the research and development of renewable and alternative forms of energy in the private sector, in academia and by governments around the world.

Gulf Energy Information’s Global Energy Infrastructure (GEI) Database and Construction Boxscore Database are tracking 268 active and operating carbon-neutral and low-carbon H2 production and utilization projects around the world.

H2Tech sat down with Deepak Bawa, Director of Project Development–LNG and Hydrogen Projects for New Fortress Energy, to discuss the roles of blue and green H₂ in the energy transition, as well as how blue H₂ both complements and competes with the natural gas midstream sector.
